My Name is Deborah Digman, I have been working in sales and administration for the last 20+ years, prior to that, doing various manual jobs. I was born and bred in Huddersfield and class myself as a proud Yorkshire lass.

At the weekends I can usually be found at local music events, not in the crowd or in a band, but helping make the sound and lighting for the event.

Nick Forster

Tell us about yourself.

Having worked in industry for over 30 plus years, I started my early career in the Plastics industry working in a laboratory role (Formulation design). Not what I planned originally to be honest, but like all of us I fell into a career which then defines you. I then moved into the Paints industry holding two positions (Lab colourist & Tech Service – Customer trails). After this I was given the opportunity to merge my technical knowledge with commercial where I then started my career in Sales & Business development, applying my technical knowledge and curiosity. I have been in Sales and Business Development ever since.

I have worked in distribution of raw materials for 3 well known Lubricant manufacturers (UK based and internationally) supplying some very key names in industry. I have also had the opportunity to work in the Fuel industry. Finally returning to the Lubrication industry which I have grown to love and really enjoy working in.
